Higuain Out For Tonight's Game

Federico Higuain did not make the trip to Kansas City after suffering a left adductor injury
late in Friday’s training.

Higuain, the team’s designated player, was set to make his return to the lineup after missing
the last two due to suspension. The Crew went 1-1 without him while also replacing coach Robert
Warzycha with interim coach Brian Bliss.

The injury is not believed to be serious.

As expected, defender Josh Williams did not make the trip after suffering a head injury during
Tuesday’s training session. Williams is expected back shortly as well.

Here is the Crew’s starting lineup for tonight’s game:

GK: Matt Lampson

D: (R-L) Chad Barson, Eric Gehrig, Chad Marshall, Tyson Wahl

MF: Ethan Finlay, Wil Trapp, Bernardo Anor, Justin Meram

F: Ryan Finley, Dominic Oduro

Midfielder Shawn Sloan made the trip but is not in uniform. Danny O’Rourke is on the bench after
missing Wednesday’s game due to yellow card accumulation.

Injured goalkeeper and Kansas City native Andy Gruenebaum will be on the bench but not as a
player. Gruenebaum will serve as a temporary goalkeeper coach of sorts. The Crew let goalkeeper
coach Scoop Stanisic go on Monday as well.
